Windows Explorer Address Bar

[Guest]

Previously I was able to set my C drive as the default location in the
Address Bar when opening Windows Explorer.

I've recently installed Norton Internet Security 2007 and Microsoft Office
2003 and suddenly the Explorer address bar will only show 'My Documents' when
the application is opened and I have to manually navigate to whatever drive I
want to 'explore'.

Is there a simple way to change the default location back to my C drive
please?

Right click the shortcut | Properties | Change its target to:
explorer.exe /e,C:\

Good Luck, Ayush.

Hi and many thanks for your quick reply, but it doesn't want to work.

After modifying the properties for the Explorer shortcut and clicking on
'apply' then "find target" it all seems OK, but when I then click on the
shortcut Icon, I get an error message which states "The path ' / e' does not
exist or is not a directory".
Any forther ides?

Please make sure that there is no space between / and e. It should be /
e

Hi Nikhil
Many thanks! That did the trick, and I thought that I had already tried
every combination of spaces, letters etc. I must have misread the original
reply from Ayush.
Much obliged to you both.
